we characterized the functional consequences of the Neandertal haplotype in the transcriptional regulation of OAS genes at baseline and infected conditions. We found that cells from people with the Neandertal-like haplotype express lower levels of OAS3 upon infection, as well as distinct isoforms of OAS1 and OAS2

A non-synonymous mutation in Oas2 (I405N) in the viral sensor Oas2 was found and the mutation caused post-partum failure of lactation in healthy mice with otherwise normally developed mammary glands, characterized by greatly reduced milk protein synthesis coupled with epithelial cell death, inhibition of proliferation and a robust interferon response. The mutation activates the OAS2 pathway.

Endogenous expression of the porcine OAS2 gene could be promoted by interferon (IFN)-beta or PRRSV infection in porcine alveolar macrophages. Knockdown of porcine OAS2 led to increases in PRRSV replication, and OAS2 expression suppressed replication of PRRSV in a retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I)-dependent manner, anti-PRRSV activity of porcine OAS2 would be lost if RNase L and OAS2 were both silenced.

OAS2 Antigen Profile

Antigen Summary

This gene encodes a member of the 2-5A synthetase family, essential proteins involved in the innate immune response to viral infection. The encoded protein is induced by interferons and uses adenosine triphosphate in 2'-specific nucleotidyl transfer reactions to synthesize 2',5'-oligoadenylates (2-5As). These molecules activate latent RNase L, which results in viral RNA degradation and the inhibition of viral replication. The three known members of this gene family are located in a cluster on chromosome 12. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
